torq-a-verter on Bonanza

[Bigtone]

I have a 1300 Bonanza and I am setting up a 5hp Briggs on it. I want to install a torq-a-verter and still use the jackshaft with the right hand drive wheel. Does anyone if this is possible? Any tips would be appreciated!

yes it possible(as long as there is clearance) what you do is put the driven on the jack shaft and lone it up best as possible with he driver on the engine, also you gonna need a longer belt for sure, there cheep though if you can find the size you need.

if you are using the aluminum backing plate it has to be notched to clear the jackshaft plate.... not sure if the tav30 steel plate will clear....

Any chance of finding photos of this setup on a Bonanza or other bike with same layout?

there has a been a few people here that has done it but I can't remember who it was now..... I am setting up a 2 speed on one of my Bonanzas..

Is that an automatic 2 speed? Are you integrating it into the jackshaft setup?

I did a 6 hp Tec with a TAV on my 1200 Bonanza.

Here's the key photo on how I made mine work.

There's an extensive thread with several more pics of the project on here somewhere, but it's way back there. Try to run a search and see if you can find it.

Good Luck

Here's the original thread from Mardyn, but the pics have been moved/deleted. That's why I like to keep pics on OldMiniBikes Photo Album so they stay with the thread. :thumbsup:

yes it's a Comet 2 speed...I had to stretch the jackshaft plates so the secondary clutch would clear the swingarm..

Wow that's more squeezed in there than I expected :blink:

Very helpful tips and pics! Thanks. I will post the results when it's up and runnin

Mine works really good and even will easily wheelie upon application of full throttle from a stop.

I've got a short video that I'll post up if I can figure out how to isolate it in the file.
